[QUOTE="BadassBlues, post: 269461, member: 38526"] Perhaps some of the messaging here may be lost in translation. English is not your primary language I assume? Please correct me if I am mistaken, but you asked questions regarding weight loss on the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean Diet is not really what one would consider a weight loss diet, it is more of a nutritional choice for people looking to benefit from the health and longevity demonstrated by the indigenous people of that region from living that lifestyle. [I]The [B]Mediterranean diet[/B] is more of a [B]healthy-eating lifestyle[/B] than a restrictive diet. It emphasizes a wide variety of [B]fruits[/B], [B]vegetables[/B], and regularly includes [B]fish[/B], [B]nuts[/B], and other foods with [B]healthy fats[/B]. At the same time, it limits processed foods, excessive red meats, and refined grains like white bread. The Mediterranean diet also recognizes the often undervalued health benefit of [B]eating more mindfully[/B].
